Petition Raps Ike Statement Of Old South
A faculty-student petition condemning President Dwight D. Eisenhower for his Wednesday press conference statement: “I i was taught from babyhood to respect the Southern Confederacy of Civil War days.” is being circulated around the SC campus today.
SC faculty and students alike voiced objections to his reference to the Confederacy, saying the South stood for the violation of the American Constitution. the destruction of the Union and the doctrine of slavery.
Oath Violated
They denounced the statement as a violation of the oath of presidential office which obligates the'President of the Unit- ! ed States to support and defend
- public address system which had , been set up.
No Ike Speech At one time it appeared that Gov. Goodwin Knight had Ike on his way to SC microphone, but the pressures of hundieds of reporters and photographers, aiong with a horde of dignitaries and candidates, halted the move.
Two large marine helicopters swept down on the make-shift run-way without hesitation at i exactly 11:45 a.m. The President ■ could be seen through the window taking off Its hat and I breaking out into the famous Eisenhower smile.
Barney Cheers Then the handshakes began. Ike went swiftly down the line

Ike then stepped into an open limousine with Sen. Knowland and Gov. Knight. The car swung around and headed north on Menlo Ave.. and Ike responded to t he cheering SC crowd by standing up and holding his hands above his head.

He called the Southern people who were responsible for this violence “hoodlums’’ and referred back to his feelings about the Confederacy.
